Tips on following regulations when putting up Political Yard Signs

There is a reason why political parties should adhere to regulations when placing Political Yard Signs around. To begin with, it can cause resentment among voters, who choose not to partner with them. And in addition to that, state laws and transportation departments would discourage unwanted solicitation in private properties too. Irrespective of how well made those political signs are, they can be removed if violations exist.

You would lose the signs and this could become an issue for the political party too. Your rivals would attack you on that, claiming your party to be a non law conforming one. In addition to that, you would lose trust from the voters who really want to support you. Imagine voting for a party that cannot abide by simple yard sign postage, what then would they serve the community with?

1.      Check with the laws

In most states, campaigners are strictly warned against setting up of political signs at yard, private and personal. Some laws also state that the signs should be placed at locations which wouldn’t distract onlookers or drivers. The signs should not block the view of traffic oncoming too. Hence paying special attention to where the signs should be placed is a must.

2.      What you should and shouldn’t do

Don't imitate or emulate other signs around, especially traffic signs meant for the public. Prior to elections, check with the municipal authorities if it is okay to place signs around. After the elections, all parties are asked to remove the signs in a month’s time from the last day of campaigning.

3.      Where you should not place those signs

Don't place them on highways, interstates and freeways. Some states wouldn’t allow such signs on various streets too, and that’s why they are called yard signs. Sidewalks and greenways can be used, only when prior permission is given for the same. With that in mind, no nails, strings or damaging supports are allowed to haul Political Yard Signs.
